[C# + HTTP Wrappers] A Method for Random Usernames
First you are going to need a random number. There is over 30000000 people on gaia so thats a good number to use.

Random random = new Random();


So the next line is going to generate the number. This will be the user id.
No "random.Next(MIN, MAX)" sets the limit.


Random random = new Random();
Int32 rndid = random.Next(5000, 30000000);


So the first string will be the URL of a random profile. "Wrapper.Get("http://www.gaiaonline.com/profiles/" + rndid);" As you can see it adds the random number to the end of the URL.

The second string is a Between statement, you need a wrapper that supports this.
"Wrapper.Between(Get, "http://www.gaiaonline.com/profiles/", "/");" This will look for the link on the random profile. The output of this string will most likely produce a username.

Random random = new Random();
Int32 rndid = random.Next(5000, 25000000);
String Get = Wrapper.Get("http://www.gaiaonline.com/profiles/" + rndid);
String Name = Wrapper.Between(Get, "http://www.gaiaonline.com/profiles/", "/");


Outputing this string is easy you can use it for what ever you need to to do or just put it on a label.

label1.Text = Name;
